Today's Sightings


Recommended Posts

I managed to get a good amount of 2nd gen today on my visit to NDG: 28-030 on the 17, 26-028 and 040 on the 63 (one of them is AV). The 63 was spectacular today, being served entirely by rockets when I was there... wow!

I also managed to grab an empty 30-025 on the 810 on my way back, since everyone got on the previous bus that left seconds before mine (some 40 series). Also got 29-837 with the chevron-styled seat insert motif on the 121.

Spotted 31-095 on the 105 as well, still not tracking.

I took Azur trainset #68 on the orange line today. This is the highest one I have seen so far.

That 30-256 isn't tracking again... I spotted 29-801 (121) and 31-095 (213) again today, not tracking as well. Meanwhile I managed to avoid 31-191 this morning by taking 37-103, and 31-813 this evening by taking 37-063, both on the 171.

Airport runners 30-017 and 29-150 were on the 810. 28-018 was on the 17 and 40-189 pulled into the southern terminus at Côte-Vertu displaying PROGRAMME Ok.

28-094 was on the 460 this morning.

Anjou's 31-045 was on the 161 this afternoon.

26-001 has resurfaced parked outside St. Denis. 

In a shocking twist no one expected this early, 26-010 is now retired from service. Farebox is removed and the mirror harness is just hanging off the bus. :(

Yesterday.

I skipped 31-809 on the 121 and 32-029 on the 171 and waited for 37-028 on the 171 in the morning. 

29-857 was on the 121, the rear sign was stuck saying 467. I took 29-826 on it later. 30-172 arrived as the 64 saying "64 Gre" at the front. 28-044 was on the 475. I saw 31-095 again, on the 128.

Today.

My luck with those 31 series brought me 31-813 (another Stinson artic...) and 31-058 this morning. I waited until 37-054 showed up on the 171 to avoid both again. I took 30-849 in the afternoon.

26-078 was parked outside SN in the evening, near 41-043.

31-004 was on the 128 RF, run 0101.

I'm pretty sure that one has spent many months parked outside SD earlier this year as well...

40-232 was on the 77 this evening. This may be the last bus to run this route as it will be removed from the fall schedule.

Last day of the signature "Lionel-Gr", got on it on the EB departure at 15:36.

I also took 37-008 on the 810 and 29-818 on the 100. I'm not sure if the new 100 routing allows artics. Even if it does, it seems to interline very heavily with other routes, so it might be a less common sight.

I took 37-024 on the 100-O in the morning. Contrary to the indications on the STM press release, the 100 keeps using the St-Louis / Gohier stop instead of going into the bus loop at Du Collège.

30-006 was on the 171 and 30-851 was on the 121, both not tracking. The 121Is are finally back in action and I took 29-004 on the SD-operated departure in the afternoon. 31-213 was deadheading on CV to start the 54. Later, spotted banana light 32-030 doing a U-turn near Stinson and Montpellier while on the 128.

Finally, spotted STL 0605 and a 17xx hybrid on the first day of 713 shuttle. The destination signs haven't been programmed, so the buses bore a piece of paper with a handwritten 713 instead. It was quite the mess at CV as well: the sudden back to normal bus operations there coupled with road constructions meant that there were buses parked all over the places.

I just took 1265 on the 801 and it was making a buzzing sound at the front. I'm not sure if it was due to a small fan the driver had to refresh themselves or if it was a mechanical problem with the bus.

EDIT: A similar buzzing sound was on 1655 (LFSA HEV), so it's not a fan, though it may be the cooling fan working overtime in this 40C+ heat.

More August 24th sightings:

- 15xx hybrids are starting to get limited to peak service, as I saw L1501 and L1503

- The oldest bus I saw on the Québec side was RTC L0832. It seems as though either the buses from 2003 to 2007 are stored for the summer or they are retired for good (unlikely to be the latter, though). The oldest bus I saw on the Lévis side was 0701, which is their oldest overall.
